Go Paperless
· Google Classroom- This is your best bet. Upload homework, projects, your syllabus and calendar to your website for students to view at their leisure. A good many students forget their school supplies or bookbags so worksheets and handouts get lost far too often.
· Evernote- Students can download this app to their phones and take notes, snap pictures of the powerpoint slides and record your lecture all with the same app. (Don’t be afraid of their phones, make them use them to their intellectual benefit)
· Quizlet- Forget paper pop quizzes and move into the digital age with Quizlet. Students can easily take a quiz and send you the results without picking up a pen.
More Options:
o Use Quizlet for weekly quizzes . You can also use Flubaroo in Google Classroom. It's an extension you can add to chrome.
o Present PowerPoints via Slideshare.net or Google Slides
o Have students Blog via Weebly.com instead of turning in Discussion Questions or short free response
o Use a document camera instead of making copies. You can check these out from the library.
o Scan book chapters or excerpts to your Flash Drive and then upload them to Google Drive or Edmodo
o Record class discussions and small group discussions with the iPad or using a student’s cell phone
o Have students create digital portfolios, record short bits of lecture and take snapshots of powerpoint slides with Evernote
